This was a lower price than what I usually pay but thought I would try a cheaper resort from the one I stayed at in August. The rooms were spacious, I think the food was actually better than the higher priced resort from August. The air worked really well in all the restaurant's, nice pools and beach area. All together, we were pleased. So what do you give up at a cheaper resort?
1. No umbrella's on the beach. (may not seem like a big deal until you would like to have one)
2. No waitress's on the beach. I guess that saves the resort money as if you have to get up, you are less likely to drink as much. Again, not a big deal until you want it.
3. The biggest one for us.
They do not have snacks. Sometimes you just want a snack and there are none. The other resort walked around with carts of snacks. Again, not a big deal until you get an afternoon craving.
4. Room service was very slow but they could have been busy so no big deal.
5. The worst thing that happened, my wife was blow drying here hair and stepped on the cord and it literally shocked her making her lose her balance falling and hitting her head on the wall. Someone had repaired the cord but did a very poor job of it leaving a wire exposed. It took 2 phone calls and 2 visits consisting of 2 days to get this fixed. It could happen anywhere so just beware.
While I would have enjoyed the first three things, it is not a deal breaker for me. If I go back, I know to take snacks.
Steavens Gourgue was great and helped so much
